Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional:

  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (lightly crushed)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Incorporate lavender and dry ingredients: Stir in dried lavender, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Be sure to use culinary-grade dried lavender for safe and pleasant flavor.
  • For a stronger lavender aroma, infuse the butter with lavender by gently warming it with the flowers and straining before use.
